3. There needs to be coverage on MSM
This reminds me of when we took action in the sixties. I wish I could be there.

42. Do you remember the name of the paper in Crawford that Shrub
tried to run out of town? I'm sure they'd love to cover the story!

Peace.

13. Check out what Cindy's doing in September
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 11:27 AM by funkybutt
She's going to be riding the PEACE TRAIN from New Orleans to D.C. for the massive march on Washington.

The Veteran's for Peace Impeachment tour will be meeting the Peace Train in New Orleans and some of those members will be riding as well.

The peace train will be picking up activists at all the stops along the way.

14. I think Cindy would like nothing better than to be carted off in
handcuffs and you know that just ain't gonna happen. If it does, you will see protestors coming out of the woodwork and screaming their heads off. Cindy is one courageous and smart lady and I wish I could join her on this trip. I hope every Vet in Dallas goes with her.

Make his vacation one he will not forget. Let him know his war is killing our children, mine will be gone in a month and I am doing the countdown on the calendar. For all the Mothers whose children are in this war, I pray for you, and Cindy Sheehan, God Bless You....

17. Good for Ms. Sheehan. This is what proud Americans do...demand justi
Demanding what is right directly from the top monkey is American. Sitting back in your armchair listening to hate radio, rooting an unjust war, calling brave dead Americans and innocent dead Iraqis "collateral damage," plastering your SUV with Murkin paraphenalia from China IS NOT AMERICAN. Good for you Cindy. Give them hell girl!

What a true patriot. I love the questions she wants answered. 'If the cause is so noble, why aren't the twins there?'

I have thought about Cindy all day.

This would be a great news story in the old days.
I have written CNN, Keith and others.

Thi is action not just sitting and waiting.

30. She met the Silverspoon Sociopath before.
There was an article on the LBN about that. I guess that she felt at the time that it would be too rude to voice her views. Her daughter was there, as well. Her discription of him was that he was merely going throught the motions. He said that he could not relate to losing a relative. I guess he forgot about his sister that died. Strange, eh?

32. It's almost impossible to understand how he forgot his own sister!
I thought that, too, listening to Mrs. Sheehan and daughter discussing it on tv once.

The daughter said that Bush acted snotty because they didn't appear to be impressed how important it was to meet him. He forgot the son's name talking to the mother.

Mrs. Sheehan said he seemed dead cold at the core.

Odd qualities in a pResident.

Cindy- go get your answers. You deserve no less.

I am not trying to be cute. I really believe that he is one. He is devoid of feelings that most humans have.

Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 08:05 PM by Karenina
Rückendeckung is what Cindy Sheehan needs. Every mother affected who can get there and physically COVER HER BACK fortifies her stance. History is on our side.

What happens when THOUSANDS of mothers descend on the vacation location of a *dauphin who leaves behind the affairs of state to relax as their children DIE FOR NO GOOD REASON???

44. Hey all. I'm here, I hugged Cindy last night. She caused a major uproar!
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 05:35 AM by anarchy1999
at the Vets for Peace event, God bless her heart.. (behind the scenes).

It took some hours but all are behind it now.

She is determined this time, "I'll stop the war or go to jail". She is demanding to see Bush at the front gate of the "ranch"/pig farm. This time though she has enlisted the support of Veterans for Peace right behind a survivor of Hiroshima visiting Crawford at the same time.

Saturday is going to be an interesting day.

They have an absolutely wonderful bus.

impeach bush tour, vets for peace ! It's one of the vehicles headed south to Crawford on Saturday morning.

Something else she had to say...

I'm going to hold the picture of my son in front of me and tell them all I have a right to go anywhere in this nation/country.

Not an exact quote but damn close. That is why I say Saturday could turn out to be rather interesting. Many Vets are joining in with her in support. Watch out Georgie.

I'd be the same. A child of mine died for lies, I'll see you all responsible in hell.
